Had To Dig Deep Today

I arrived at the Harrisburg Park track this morning to run with my group.  To be honest, it was a little bit of a struggle.  But at times like that, I remind myself of 1) why I'm going through all this, and 2) just like pledging a fraternity or going through ROTC Officer Basic Camp or Airborne School, as hard as going through something like that is, it always ends.  It doesn't last forever.  After I left the track, I went to the weight room and got in some weight training, pull-ups (someone was able to show me a better way of doing them), planks and ab work.
